The landscape of the Outer Hebrides, with its stark cliffs, ghostly mists & lonely beaches, has become a definitive character of Peter May`s Lewis trilogy. In Hebrides, readers will accompany him on an odyssey in prose & images, through a history of the Vikings` ` Long Island` & his own deep personal connection with the islands that influenced his bestselling work. Travelling as if alongside his protagonist Fin Macleod, he describes the island life
- as bewitching as it is treacherous
- his encounter with the bird-hunters of Sula Sgeir, the savage seas of Ness & the churches of Eriskay. With extracts from the trilogy & specially commissioned photographs, this book places his writing & characters within the land that gave them form.
